Nécessaire - The Body Retinol. Repair Serum + Retinol Body Lotion In One. Crepey Skin Treatment. Wrinkle + Line Prevention. 0.1% Pure + 10% AHA. 5.1 oz

I use on my neck and arms at night. Goes on and absorbs great. Medicinal smell but I like it. Seems to be working great, notice less crepey skin.

Very good cream - no greasy at all

This is my 2nd time ordering this lotion as I want to give it a fair try...... I can't say that I saw a HUGE difference right- it is subtle. The scent is minimal and goes away quickly. I don't feel it's extremely moisturizing, I alway feel as though I should re apply body lotion in the morning. Over all I think it's an ok product but maybe a bit overpriced. I'm giving it a 2nd try but may move on if I don't see results.

I’ve had this hand retinol “serum” formulation for a couple of months now. I’ve applied it sparingly, liberally, on completely dry hands, and on freshly washed hands. I’ve applied it to warm hands and cold hands. I’ve used it on its own in the evening, before bed, and I’ve applied it during the day, under sunscreen. I’ve tried to apply it as quickly as possible, and I’ve taken time to more thoroughly work it into my skin as effectively as possible. No matter what measures I’ve undertaken or how I’ve applied it, it pills and flakes all over the place.For years I’ve been a huge fan of Necessaire’s products. The original hand cream is still my all-time favorite for helping me really nourish and moisturize my hands, which have become drier with age and use. This new retinol “serum”, however, is a huge disappointing failure. I don’t understand why they’re calling it a serum because the texture is very much a white, whipped, creamy substance, like their hand cream, but that’s where the similarities end. The description states that it’s “Dermatologist-Tested”. It can’t have been tested under everyday, average use. Perhaps it’s okay as a spot treatment for someone who doesn’t need an application for their entire hands, but even with the slightest friction during a typical hand application, it ends up in messy, tiny pills/flakes all over your lap or on the floor instead of being absorbed into your skin.I noted in the title that there are over 60 ingredients in this 2.2 oz. tube that sells for $35.00. Retinol, one of THE weakest retinoids, is ingredient #12 on the full list. The #10 ingredient, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, is not allowed to be included in cosmetics that remain on the skin if it makes up more than 3% of the entire formula. That should tell you that, at its really low 0.25% strength, there is very little retinol (which is definitely not Tretinoin) in the tube. And there are many OTC products that contain retinol at levels nearly four times that strong, or 1.0%.I’ll try to use it as a spot treatment on some pigmented areas in an effort to get some value from it, but please, please don’t waste your money on this product if you want a weaker retinoid (retinol) that will truly be absorbed into your skin, as a real serum should.

Hands down constant repurchase. Amazing product. Almost no scent, does its job, hands look decades younger!

I love the ingredients. The smell isn't great but that goes away quickly (and my cat really hates it). Unfortunately, if you sleep on 100% cotton sheets like I do, you may find this causes major discoloration. My sheets are expensive and this has basically ruined them. I'm sorry to say I'm discontinuing use. I don't know if it's the retinol or something else. I'm considering trying another brand but could have the same problem.

As others have said it’s not scented, has a product smell I use scented lotion over this. But it works great . My skin is soo much better. I’m in my 50s and getting that older looking skin. This is a great product.

I have used the all bottle.the description of the product is limited to 0.1 % pure Retinol-is this enough to get a result?-, aha, peptide, glycerin and vitamins but when you check the entire ingredients, than it is a different matter particularly with some products not being safe for long use. what about isoparaffin? yes, they used in many cosmetic products but i am reviewing this one.final thought; not worth for the price.better castor oil for results and price.
